Hmm... that's interesting...

I just tested:
coreutils 6.6 on NFS server A on RHAS4 (i*86)  - broken.
coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on RHAS4 (i*86)  - broken.
coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on RHAS5 (i*86)  - broken.
coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on RHAS5 (x64)   - broken.
coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on RHAS3 (x64)   - works.
coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on Sol10 (x64)   - works.
coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on Sol7  (sparc) - works.

...so I guess it's still spotty.
